How does a MeetCute data scientist #hackdating?

First, and most importantly, is the design and analysis of experiments. We run a substantial number of tests in the process of developing our project, and we want to make sure we come to the right conclusions.

Data scientists are also often called upon to answer questions about how the site currently functions, to inform and guide future product decisions that we make. These questions tend to be open-ended, so the ability to go from a vague question to a concrete answer is essential.
